Have you tried for years to lose weight but never kept it off? Are you 50, 75 or 100+ pounds overweight? Ready to make a change forever?

Where it all began...

In 2008 I weighed 330 pounds with a 52" waist. I had hypertension, was pre-diabetic, had Sleep Apnea and couldn't walk up a flight of stairs without being winded. I was 44 years old and had been on every possible diet - nothing worked.

I heard about Medical Weight Loss surgery but was very skeptical and heard of all the risks so I was pretty uncertain; however, after lots of research, finding a great surgeon, using a chunk of savings and borrowing money from my Mom, I had the Lapband Surgical Procedure on March 28, 2008.

i wrote a book about my experiences and choices before, during and after weight loss surgery and think you will really benefit from my 15 Tips For Success. Even if you don't have a surgical procedure, this book talks about Yo-Yo dieting, Eating Healthy, Food Addiction and much more! Buy it on Amazon.com today!

IT'S NOT ABOUT THE DESTINATION, BELIEVE ME, IT IS A JOURNEY!

When I started out, I thought I knew everything I needed to about having surgery but I was very naive. I didn't know how much my body would change, my body chemistry, emotions and feelings. I entered into some very dark places that left me empty, alone, fearful and doing risky things I'd never thought of in my life.

I decided to tell my story now over six years after surgery as I know I can help others along their decision-making process, through surgery and especially helping others AFTER (and for several years) as a mentor and guide.
